"Follow the right people"--know who is important in your industry to you can learn and grow "hashtags"--reach the right audience. "Don't talk to people, talk @them"--using the @ key is a great way to get retweeted "Be grateful"--Thanks goes a long way. People expect responses within 2 hours. If you thank them, they'll be willing to retweet or respond more frequently. "Pass along great content"--helps solidify yourself as a thought leader. They'll treat your tweets (and blog posts) more seriously. "Be conversational"--people don't want to follow computers or bots. Be genuine. "Be yourself"--if you advertise yourself as loving widgets and sprockets, people follow you because of that. If you then discuss whiffleball and window panels, people will stop following you. "Schedule tweets/ROI Analysis"--Hootsuite allows you to schedule tweets. Get your coffee in the morning, get industry news, pick the best, and schedules tweets for the day. You can than track your followers/retweets/link clicks/etc with the ROI analysis tool.
We have 640 followers and they're real people. Everytime we tweet our message reaches our TARGET audience. The content that you push out determins the ppl that follow you Get involved in real convos
Maybe a visual helps. This is what 700 people looks like. Everytime we tweet, we're sending personal messages to each person in this audience.
I started this page as a dummy account to prove a point. With minimal effort I was able to add nearly 60 followers in 10 days. All of these followers are real people interested in whatever I tweeted about (inbound marketing and social media.) With a modest effort, there's no reason you can't add 150-200 followers per month. Many of these followers are QUALIFIED LEADS and are interested in what YOU have to say!
